Guest guest Posted November 13, 2001 Report Share Posted November 13, 2001 1) How do I get chewing gum off clothes. We've got (yuk!) huge softish lumps smeared over a big area - on cotton and fleece. Remember vaguely something about putting in the freezer then picking it off? Or can I take the whole lot to the dry cleaners? 2) How to air radiators. I thought I knew this - in Manchester (student days) we had a sort of key you just pushed into the thing (not very precise, sorry) at the top and the air just fizzed out until water started bubbling out instead. Just had a look at our radiators and can't find anything that looks like this. Hmm. Are they all different? Thanks!! Karina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I used to do, but we have hot air duct heating now so, sorry, can't help there. > Ruth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
